Yingxian County, also known as Yingyi (now Chengzi County Village, Yangli Town, northwest of Laiwu City).

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Yingxian County has been the territory of Qi State. In the second year of the reign of Emperor Huan of Qi (684 B.C.), the two countries of Qi and Lu had the famous Battle of Long Spoon, which was near Yingxian. The north is the remnant vein of Mount Tai, there are Sanping Mountain, Xiangshan from west to east, and the south is Culai Mountain.

It is a semi-circular basin with a pleasant climate and an abundance of produce.

Since Qin captured Qidu, eliminated Qi, and unified the world, although there was a small turmoil in Qi, most of them were small bandits and bandits, and they could not become a big climate. Therefore, under the rule of Great Qin, Qi was quite calm. At least compared to Chu Di, it is much calmer.

On Chengmen Street, there is a large mansion.

The vermilion lacquer gate has a copper nail the size of a palm. Bright, shiny, and striking in daylight. The light flickered, and it also made the purple horizontal plaque on the door, which was quite noble. The two big characters of Jin Cancan's Tianfu also explain the origin of the owner of this house. The owner of this place is named Tian An, and he is a real descendant of the Qi royal family. Of course, it's just a remote side branch.

Since the death of Tian Jian, the king of Qi, the Tian family living in Qi has been very low-key.

Especially after the first emperor moved the wealthy families of Shandong countries to Xianyang, the more scarce the Tian clan became, the more low-key they became.

Tian An's ancestor faded out of the Qi royal family as early as the time of King Qi Wei. At that time, Shang Yang had not yet changed the law in the Qin State, and the Qi State was also in its heyday. For more than 100 years, most of the people of the Tian clan in Jibei County were merchants. The business was not very big, and it was not until Tian An's father that it began to develop. And after the fall of the Qi State, it soon became a big household in Yingxian County.

At this time, Great Qin also stopped the large-scale purge of the descendants of the Six Kings Clan.

After all, after the chaos, great governance is needed, and the first emperor's two eastern tours are also to appease the hearts of the people of the six countries of Shandong. The Great Purge is over. In its place, there was a flurry of appeasements. Tian An's matter as a descendant of the Qi royal family was also turned over, and under the conscious arrangement of the imperial court, he gave the Tian family of Yingxian County a lot of advantages, and even gave Tian An a title that did not change.

Not even more of a fourth-class knight!

Other words. The imperial court exempted Tian Andi from conscription and military service.

So. When Tian Andi's father died. The Tian family of Yingxian County was under the helm of Tian Andi. The exhibition is even more rapid. It has become the largest family in Yingxian County.

It's the height of summer. In the garden of the Tian family. Flowers are in full bloom.

Outside a tastefully landscaped gazebo. The maidservants are playing the melody.

in the gazebo. There were five people seated. There are old and young. Oldest. Around Lent. A strong suit. Dressed up in martial arts.

The beard is grayish. But the spirit seems to be good.

Beside him, kneeling sat two young men. is twenty-three or four-year-old, a rough and bold appearance, born with a strong force; The other is a little thin, and there is an elegant temperament in the heroism. The two sat right behind the old man, their eyes closed in a gentle manner, and the rough one drank heavily.

"Ofan, General Chai came here today, just to discuss the next action!"

The one who speaks. It was a man who sat on the throne, about forty-three or four-four, born white and fat, like the Maitreya Buddha in later generations. Dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a black crown. When he speaks, he always smiles, giving people a sense of harmlessness.

This middle-aged fat man is Tian An.

At his behalf, a man in his thirties sits down.

The appearance is quite delicate. The body is thin and thin. Hearing Tian An's words, the man suddenly coughed twice, and a sickly blush appeared on his face. He took a sip of wine, let out a soft breath, and then raised his head and asked, "General Chai, can you settle down in the mountains?" ”

The old man seemed to be very respectful of this handsome man, and asked with concern: "Ovary, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that when I fled, I fell ill...... But there is General Lao's concern. Zhang Liang really didn't want to go. ”

This man. It turned out to be Zhang Liang!

Since Bolangsha's assassination of the First Emperor, Zhang Liang has been incognito. No more news.

No one thought that he would appear in the field house in Yingxian County. Coughing lightly twice, Zhang Liang glanced at the two young men behind the old man again. I couldn't help but ask: "General Chai, these two are ......?"

General Chai smiled and stretched out his hand to point at the rough young man, "This is an old rotten dog, named Chai Wu." Ever since the violent Qin broke Zhao, he has wandered around with me. He is a rough man, but he also served in the army in his early years, and his martial arts are not bad, and he has a lot of experience in the method of cavalry warfare.

This one......

General Chai pulled the arm of the elegant young man, "But it's after my famous general Zhao." ”

"Oh?"

When Zhang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but be interested, and couldn't help but look the young man up and down. The young man opened his eyes and bowed to Zhang Liang.

"His grandfather is Wu Anjun!"

When Zhang Liangtian heard this, he was all in awe.

"It turned out to be Wu Anjun, Tian An was rude, rude!"

Wu Anjun is the late Zhao Guoxiang, the famous Zhao general Li Mu.

The young man didn't seem to care, and said with a slight smile: "The left car is just a nobody, how can it be valued by the two of you?" This time, Zuoche was invited by the uncle of the Chai family, just to ask the sages for advice...... Mr. Zhang's plan in Liangfu Mountain is really ingenious, and Zuo Che admires it.

However, I have heard that the imperial court has ordered Liu Kan, the governor of Surabaya, to come and investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

"Liu Kan?"

Tian An was stunned, "This name is so familiar...... I vaguely remember that the Surabaya flower carvings sold a few years ago seemed to be brewed by a person named Liu Kan. The Liu Kan that Shaojun said should be the Liu Kan who sold Surabaya flower carvings in Peixian County. ”

Shaojun is an honorific title for young people.

Zhang Liang, who was next to him, frowned slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

The young man said: "I don't know if this Liu Kan is the Liu Kan that Tian Weng said, but this Liu Kan seems to be from Pei County."

I've traveled to the Northland before and heard of this man. This person once used hundreds of soldiers and horses to resist tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops outside the city of Fuping, and killed Tu Qi, the king of Zuoxian, to block Ali for many days. Later, he made a surprise attack. Robbing and killing the river ferry, using soldiers like gods, very clever.

Mr. Tian Weng and Mr. Zhang...... Although this person is a businessman, he is quite strategic. And it's very bold, it's not constant, so you can't guard against it! ”

Zhang Liang's brows frowned even tighter.

The slender and white fingers tapped on the tabletop, and they became more and more urgent, attracting Tian An's attention.

"Ovary, why are you so anxious?"

Zhang Liang said: "I have also heard of this person that Shaojun said. He's a ruthless man. A few years ago, the turmoil in Sihongdi, did Tian Weng know? ”

Tian An was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Of course I know!" ”

"But does Tian Weng know? That turmoil was the one who led it. Ruthless, resourceful, and skilled in military affairs.

Although he is not very old, he should not be underestimated. We are about to start something, so we need to be cautious. It's best not to let him enter Jibei County, in case he sees the clues, I'm afraid that his efforts will be wasted...... Tian Weng should have a strong martial artist, why not take this person's life on the way? In this way, even Lao Qin will send someone over again. Late. When the time comes, Tian Weng will raise his arms and shout, and the righteous people in the world will definitely respond. ”

Tian An's fat face showed a touch of anger.

The kind appearance of the place earlier suddenly disappeared at this moment.

He whispered, "What's so hard about that? There is a warrior under my door, who is the grandson of Zhu Hai, a warrior under the Xinling Jun of Wei State, born with divine power, and also has the courage of ten thousand people, named Zhu Ju (pronounced goujian, who worshiped Gai Nie as a teacher when he was a child. Swordsmanship is superb, and martial arts are strong. His grandfather died in the Qin State, so he hated the old Qin to the core. I sent him to assassinate Liu Kan, and he will definitely succeed and prevent Liu Kan from entering the Qi. ”

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "The Iron Spine Warrior actually has a descendant? ”

Hearing the word Tie Shi, Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and couldn't help but say softly: "It's a pity that my dog's whereabouts are unknown since Bolangsha."

If Zhang Gou is here, why bother the descendants of the righteous man?

Tian Weng, I will worry about you to arrange this matter...... Tomorrow I will go to Xue County first. Later to Linzi. Visit Tatsu Tianfuku. The day we return to Yingyi is the time when we get into trouble. Chai Lao General. The stakes are very important this time, and the military affairs still need to be bothered by the old general. ”

General Chai smiled slightly, "Whether my Da Zhao can be revived depends on whether it can succeed this time." Mr. Zhang doesn't need to worry about it, Chai will do his best. ”

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, just rest assured!"

Chai Wu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Zuo Che and I will assist our father, just wait for Mr. to come back, and great things will be done." ”

When Zhang Liang heard this, he bowed his hand slightly.

Several people gossiped for a while, and General Chai took the young man and Chai Wu and left.

After the three of them left Yingyi, they went in the direction of Culai Mountain.

On the way, Chai Wu couldn't help but ask: "Zuoche, do you think this Mr. Zhang can really be trusted?" ”

Before the words fell, General Chai raised his horsewhip and whipped at Chai Wu, "Stupid, Mr. Zhang is an old Han nobleman, who killed King Qin in Bolangsha six years ago, no one in the world knows, which one doesn't know?" If you talk about hatred for Lao Qindi, I'm afraid that even you and I can't compare with Mr. Zhang. ”

Chai Wu said: "That's not what I meant...... I mean, can Mr. Zhang be sure of this plan? ”

The young Li Zuoche scratched his head, "It is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, how can you say that you will definitely succeed?" Now that Lao Qin's troops in the Central Plains are empty, if Tian Weng succeeds, the land will be chaotic. At that time, Lao Qin's troops in the Central Plains will definitely shift from Chu to Qi, and the Chu rebel army will be able to take advantage of the situation. If Chu is in chaos, the Central Plains will be in chaos...... It's just that joining forces with Yue's Donghu will be a bit excessive? ”

Li Zuoche's grandfather, Li Mu, has been fighting with the Hu people in the first half of his life.

Zhang Liang's strategy involved the alliance with the alien people of the Yue clan Donghu, so Li Zuoche was inevitably a little uncomfortable.

General Chai sighed, "Why don't I know that cooperating with the Donghu Yue clan is equivalent to introducing wolves into the house?" But now, apart from Donghu and Yue's family, who do you think can hold back Lao Qin's soldiers and horses in northern Xinjiang? If the soldiers and horses of the old Qin Northern Xinjiang move, who can resist the old Qin soldiers in the righteous army in northern Shandong? This is also something that can't be helped, and Mr. Zhang is very clear in his heart, and he has already made a decision. ”

"That being said, I understand the reason, but it's just ......"

Li Zuoche said, couldn't help shaking his head slightly, sighed and said: "Grandfather has a saying: the Huns are not destroyed, and the henchmen are troubled." What he didn't do back then, now the old Qin people have done. But I, a descendant, want to join forces with the Hu people to eliminate Lao Qin? In the future, under Jiuquan, I am afraid that I will not have the face to see my ancestors

General Chai was silent, while Li Zuoche showed shame.

"Shaojun, don't think about this anymore...... It's already at this point, and it's useless to talk about it. As long as Donghu can hold back the old Qin soldiers and horses, then my Da Zhao will have hope of recovering the country. As for the future, let's talk about it later...... Now think about how to get started. ”

"yes, yes!"

Chai Wu nodded again and again, "Listen to Shaojun's words, that Liu Kan is brave and martial." It's a pity I can't fight him...... However, can the person Tian Weng said really kill Liu Kan? If we fail, wouldn't it be an exposure of our intentions? Father, we must be on guard. ”

Li Zuoche was stunned at first, and then frowned.

"General Chai, what Ah Wu said also makes sense. In case that Zhu Jujian fails, the old Qin people will definitely be able to perceive our intentions. ”

"This ...... Probably not. ”

Li Zuoche said with a straight face: "Zhu Jujian's grandfather is indeed a warrior, but how do you and I know if this Zhu Jujian is as brave as his grandfather?" There are too many things about this kind of tiger father and dog, just talking about our Da Zhao's Ma Fujun father and son, isn't it the best explanation? ”

Ma Fujun's father and son are Zhao Hao, the famous general of Zhao State, and Zhao Kuo, who is famous through the ages and talks on paper.

General Chai became solemn and said softly: "Then what do you say?" ”

"Staring at Zhu Jujian!"

Li Zuoche said: "If Zhu Jujian succeeds, everyone will be happy; If it fails, let's take action immediately and don't give Liu Kan a chance to breathe. ”

Chai Wu immediately agreed: "What Zuo Che said is extremely true. ”

And General Chai, after pondering for a moment, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"According to Shaojun's words, let's go back to the mountain immediately, count the troops and horses, and be ready to attack at any time!"

The three of them said nothing, beat their horses and whipped away.

At this point, it will be dusk.

At dusk, on the vast land, a remnant red was sprinkled......
